Bought a used 788 Remington chambered in 308 Win. in 1968 for 50.00. Then traded an old J.C. Higgins model 20 shotgun for another 788 in 222 Rem. with an M8 6x scope. learned to shoot and handload with them. Still have both of them. The 308 is on it's 4th barrel and is now a 260 A.I. The 222 Rem. is now a 223. Have a lot of other rifles but still shoot them regularly. Have killed a lot of game and varmints with them.
